Breakeven Tolerance Setting

The breakeven tolerance setting defines a threshold around zero P&L. Trades that fall within this threshold are classified as Breakeven instead of a small Win or small Loss. This prevents tiny fluctuations and fees from skewing your win rate with meaningless wins or losses.

Why Breakeven Tolerance Matters

Without a breakeven tolerance, a trade that closes at +$0.50 profit (barely above fees) would count as a Win, and a trade at -$0.50 would count as a Loss. Neither of these results is meaningful for assessing your edge. The tolerance creates a neutral zone where these near-zero outcomes are correctly classified as breakeven.

Two Tolerance Modes

• Risk-Based Mode (percentage of R) -- The tolerance is defined as a percentage of your risk amount. For example, a 10% tolerance on a 1R risk ($100) means trades between -$10 and +$10 are classified as Breakeven. This mode scales with your position size.
• Dollar/Pips Mode -- The tolerance is defined as a fixed dollar amount or number of pips. For example, a $5 tolerance means any trade between -$5 and +$5 is Breakeven. This mode stays constant regardless of position size.

Global vs. Per-Account Setting

The breakeven tolerance can be configured at two levels.

• Global Setting -- Found in Settings > General. Applies to all accounts by default.
• Per-Account Override -- Found in the account settings (edit account). Overrides the global setting for that specific account.

Priority Rules

When both a global and per-account tolerance are set, the per-account setting takes priority. If a per-account tolerance is not set, the global tolerance is used. If neither is set, the system defaults to zero tolerance (no breakeven zone).
